Shop Hop 2009

Summer doesn’t mean you stop knitting, it just means you take it with you!

For the third time, seven of the Twin Cities’ best yarn shops are sponsoring a Yarn Shop Hop May 29, 30, and 31. Each shop will be giving away a free pattern for a 1-2 skein ‘Knitting On The Go’ project; collect all seven patterns for a summer full of inspired knitting and crocheting.

Pick up your Yarn Shop Hop entry card at the first shop you visit and receive a stamp for that shop. As you continue your visits to the shops on the list, add each shop’s stamp to your entry card. When you turn in a completed entry card, stamped at each and every shop, you will receive a ‘Knitting On The Go’ key ring and 2009 charm. A completed entry card also qualifies you to enter the drawing for the Grand Prize or one of seven First Prizes. The Grand Prize is a Knitting Beach Basket and the First Prizes are Knitting Beach Bags; all are filled with knitting and crochet goodies galore. Each of the shops will also be giving away door prizes throughout the weekend.

Start your Knitting on the Go Yarn Shop Hop beginning on Friday, May 29th. You can complete the Shop Hop all in one day or spread it out over three days. Summer Knitting On The Go Shop Hop Hours: Friday:10am to 6pm Saturday:10am to 5pm Sunday:12pm to 4m

HELP STOCK LOCAL FOOD SHELVES: This year we are including a collection for local food shelves. So, before you hit the road, fill your own picnic basket with non-perishable food items. Each shop will feature a unique, collectible charm that will be yours in exchange for your donation (the suggested donation is $5 per shop). The food shelf donation can be in the form of non-perishable food items or check to the shop’s designated food shelf. Each shop will have a bin for your contribution – we will take care of delivering the food to those in need. If you prefer, you can make a $5 purchase at each shop to qualify for the charm.
